The importance of initial protection of conspicuous mutants for the coevolution of defense and aposematic signaling of the defense: a modeling study.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2007

Ruxton Graeme D, Speed Michael P, Broom Mark

Abstract excerpt

Most models of the evolution of aposematic signaling assume (1) that the secondary defense being signaled is fixed, and (2) that conspicuous mutants arising in a population of defended individuals of cryptic appearance are initially protected from predation. Previous models of ours relaxed the first assumption, here we relax the second and compare with our earlier work to explore the consequences of initial...
